    @bIindedbylight the overwatch to normal fps experience baby im having trouble playing val as well bc i play tracking characters in ow 😭😭 literally i have never touched hitscan in my life

  • vintantt Vin (@vintantt) reported

    @trippernn Meanwhile I'm having trouble being good at overwatch and apex but I almost always get top 3-5 in fortnite

  • Tjjj_13 Tjjj (@Tjjj_13) reported

    @WaterproofSpork @LilNasX The overwatch terms of service prevents me from doing so

  • BoredisSam Sammie of the enchanted butt (@BoredisSam) reported

    @Android_Sparky So.... Her having roughly the same amount of body hair as ever other overwatch character is the least of the issue with this character. Roadhog, Junkrat, Zarya, Doomfist, torbjorn,and Hanzo have the exact same amount of body hair... Especially in that region.

  • heroinlover tundra (@heroinlover) reported

    @NathingHere Yeah. However, the problem is that when I play overwatch I actually pay attention but with paladins I didn’t even need to do it.

  • dreamibear nico! ʕ ꈍᴥꈍʔ (@dreamibear) reported

    doing community service on overwatch rn

  • Gale_Adelade Gale (@Gale_Adelade) reported

    The real way to fix the problem? Actually focus and develop a solid anti-cheat. Riot seems to be the only company who cares enough to do this. Let’s hope Overwatch follows the same route for Overwatch 2.

  • ChalsAbuah Veritas (@ChalsAbuah) reported

    @AnimaFries @IGN Very likely to be the case because it won’t be an “existing IP” so no one would feel the game is being taken away from PlayStation. Existing live service or MP based IPs like Call of Duty, Diablo, and Overwatch will remain as multiplats. 1/2

  • joec0000 Joe (@joec0000) reported

    @CrazyJuan77 @Colteastwood @MilesDompier Sorry I don't want to play persona or lame af overwatch, and I have plenty of games my issue is gamepass isn't as advertised I've had it since early 2019 never complained when halo got delayed but it's getting ridiculous

  • BitdieProtogen Saul Goodman Support Gays (@BitdieProtogen) reported

    @Epifiny Thank you, as a Mercy main and over support player in Overwatch i understand your pain. And i never meant to cause any problems. I also formally apologize for the other players who are overly annoyinng.

  • falcochia chia 🍎 (@falcochia) reported

    for me this mad maggie and junker queen issue is a two cakes situation for me. but it's so cringe seeing apex frogs comparing and ****. hating on overwatch is not rlly a personality trait my dudes

  • Mentos49079252 Mentos (Da Ghetto Blasta) (@Mentos49079252) reported

    @FerretOTR @SaintOfCorpses @Bolverk15 I think the issue is the design and aesthetic not mixing. Plus her body not fitting her face or head and her costume being way less pleasing than the first version. There are a couple of overwatch designs that look better in concept than the final product and shes one of them

  • squidmamaart 🦑🍗🧇Squid Mama's Art, Chicken, n' Waffles🧇🍗🦑 (@squidmamaart) reported

    A lot of people are talking about how the new Overwatch character looks 'generic' and after looking at her, I think the issue is it's her face. Here's a test; take her body but change the expressions and facial structure and see what happens.

  • resipunk Ashe|tlou era (@resipunk) reported

    Overwatch 2 will be free (at least the pvp will be) to people who own overwatch 1, i don't see the issue with that??

  • AgliFeby Feby Agli Oktavian (@AgliFeby) reported

    @NVIDIAGeForce #RTXON overwatch 2, good to replace my broken PC 🥺

  • ShinyRaichu02 Raichu (@ShinyRaichu02) reported

    @FranckyFox2468 @HoshizoraOW Valve barely give a **** about tf2 anymore. What makes you think overwatch 2, a brand new game is gonna have as many problems as tf2. The only reason tf2 is riddled with problems is because valve don't give a **** about a game they released years ago

  • diamond_phoenix Adrian “Blue” Collins (@diamond_phoenix) reported

    There is something about playing rank and a dps says I’m switching to widow that makes me want to disconnect my head from my shoulders #overwatch

  • snortythepirate snorty (Pirate Pride 2022 6/10!) (@snortythepirate) reported

    Extremely high on Overwatch 2 hopium right now. The game was not going to live if it weren't Free-to-Play. Junkerqueen looks really cool too, but honestly, I just want my Doomfist fix.

  • maybe_Greed GreeD (@maybe_Greed) reported

    @Gale_Adelade Cheaters were never a problem in Overwatch, the anticheat system is nuts and even if it's not working, cheaters are hated by all players. The way bigger problems with f2p are Smurfs. Most of a playerbase isn't as good as the top, noones want to go 0/22 like Yasuo Mains all time.

  • AgliFeby Feby Agli Oktavian (@AgliFeby) reported

    @NVIDIAGeForce #RTXON overwatch 2, good to replace my broken PC 🥺 #XboxBethesda

  • lorenzotheguy_ 🏳️‍🌈Lorenzo, The Guy🏳️‍🌈 (Comms CLOSED) (@lorenzotheguy_) reported

    @ThaddeusMcBoosh At least TF2's problem is lack of developer input and communication (among other things). Overwatch and it's sequel are just not that great. They're fine, but a *little* more to the game, like a more casual 9v9, would go a long way.

  • mavvodo 🔞TheFatCatPlays🔞 (@mavvodo) reported

    @Bolverk15 Took them years to and a new game to add her she looks cool to bad I just don't care for overwatch that much anymore I prefer tf2 but that game as a boting issue.

  • kwol_o Kwol-o Tingba (@kwol_o) reported

    @Yungsnaku_ overwatch is for gay nerds. they made a massive improvement by making it PVE as this removes like 50% of the problem. still bad though

  • vhytul Luna ❤️ (@vhytul) reported

    Damn.. overwatch servers down for the 2nd time within a months timespan. 😩

  • cumtosenpai Rude (@cumtosenpai) reported

    @HoshizoraOW They're already in the game lmao tf are you scared for? Overwatch has had a cheating and toxicity problem for actually like 4 years by now and it's completely unaddressed. The amount it'll increase going f2p won't even matter tbh

  • shinigamiibabe Shinigamibabe (@shinigamiibabe) reported

    Keep in mind I bought these almost a year ago and every new game I've downloaded, I've had to reset my sound for it because of these. There was a time I couldn't even play overwatch because of how bad they disconnect/reconnect. I thought I had fixed the issue.

  • silkymule11 SilkyMule (@silkymule11) reported

    @magerolls18 @OWAnonymous_ But if the whole roster is equally bad without a damage boost then wouldn't that mean they're kinda balanced? I think overwatch has a bad powercreep problem where dps and healing kept battling out to be more effective and now we have op heals and op damage

  • ARandomZack101 Silas Fox (@ARandomZack101) reported

    @WhiteMageJenny I shouldn’t have a problem with this. She’s a Mad Max muscle babe. That’s hot. But as soon as I heard it was Overwatch, I also knew she was a lazy, one-note, PC-clout chasing gimmick of a design and didn’t care anymore. That’s how little I respect Blizzard. They turn me OFF.

  • Moneyman4lyfe_ Shane McWilliams (@Moneyman4lyfe_) reported

    Sucks all my skins I have are locked because of some dumb bug and there’s no fix I guess #Overwatch

  • BotValve Borb (@BotValve) reported

    @showorks_ I dropped playing Overwatch like 2 years in bc the balancing and everything was eco. Hopefully they can fix that up a bit.
